Description

Each August, the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance features the very best of the best in terms of vintage and collectible automobiles, all displayed on the famous 18th hole of the Pebble Beach Golf Links. But even by the lofty Pebble Beach standards, Mercedes-Benz has something special cooked up for this year’s gathering, which takes place Aug. 13-16. In honor of the 60th anniversary of Sir Stirling Moss’s record-setting performance in the Mille Miglia, Mercedes is bringing out two of its most fabled race cars from 1955, accompanied by Moss himself.
